Found some additional extras last night for the deal - still $1,500 but I’m starting to have sellers remorse so act fast L
Topek Master Blaster frame pump
SKS fenders
Diatech DP9 brakes on the Albatross bars
Cork grips for the Albatross bars (NIB, actually wrapper)
Extra Shimano 105 triple front derailer (NIB)
Kick stand – the sweet Pletscher Swiss made
Original Shimano cantilever brakes
Rain cover for Brooks saddle (New Selle Anatomica Clydesdale saddle on the bike in the photo; planned to keep but will sell for additional $150)
SKS fenders
And of course the original Rivendell Owners manual

In cleaning my bike last night for additional photos now on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/69841514@N06/6347269645/in/set-72157628134894246/
(sorry I don’t have a very good camera) I came across some paint damage on my chain stays – see last photo…. Argh!!!! (echo, echo, echo) This has been my baby for the past five years so all you Rivi owners know how I feel…
Apparently the hitch in my pickup has been rubbing on the bottom of my bike while transporting it to and from the LBS. I spoke to Joe Bell who gave me a good plan for mixing some enamel to repair the paint but since I believe in full disclosure I’ve reduced the price of the bike (and accessories) since the metal has some very slight undulations from the rubbing action – obviously nothing that compromises the integrity of the frame.
As such the new price is $1,300 that includes all the below (plus two additional stems for the Albatross bars I forgot to lists – a 10 cm and an 11 cm @ 25.4). Shipping costs to be negotiated since I’ll pay to have the bike professionally packed… BTW, the only other paint chip of consequence is on the top of the chain stay (the size of a pea) below the front derailer (because a goofy LBS mechanic put the dang derailer too low during a tune-up). Oh, and there is the standard paint loss where the derailer cables rub against the steer tube.
Call 775-351-8846 (days), 775-852-1822 (eves) or email at this address…. Thanks…eric

Wow!! Just ran the numbers on the value of the extras I’m including with the Romulus sale from my old Rivendell catalog (2006).. The catalog had pricing for most items but I didn’t want to bother Mark for the one’s not there.. so I did some estimating. I got taken on the price of the Ultega 9-spd cassette so I put down what most people can get it for – if not slightly less on sale… Below is the breakdown….. thanks..e..
Nitto Technomic Deluxe – 8 cm = $42
Nitto Technomic Deluxe – 9 cm = $42
Nitto Technomic – 8 cm = $38
Nitto Crystal Fellow seatpost = $55
Pauls thumb shifters (never mounted) = $55
Shimano 105 Triple front derailer NIB = $55
Shimano cantilevers = $70
Nitto Albatross bars = $32
Dia-Tech mtn lever (Albatross bars) = $25
Cork grips for Albatross bars NIB = $10 (est)
Topeak Master Blaster frame pump = $28
Nitto Noodle bars 46 cm = $52
Pletscher kick-stand = $14
Shimano Ulterga 9 spd 12-27 cassette = $75 (est)
Sugino crank arm set – 170mm = $50 (est)
Sugino crank arm set – 175mm = $50 (est)
SKS fenders = $40 (est)
All important Brooks saddle cover = $15
Total value = $748 at the old pricing (you can compare to see what current pricing would be)
